In adult guardianship, what would happen if the ward refuses to acknowledge guardianship?
I mean like say the ward says "I'm going over to my friends house" then the guardian says "No, I don't trust them" the ward says "I don't need your help, I'm a grown adult" and the Ward goes to his friends house

Legally, the guardian has the same authority as if the ward were a minor child. How they actually exercise their authority varies widely.
The guardian *could*, as an extreme measure, call in the police to physically restrain the ward. The ward could be a "grown adult", but if he/she is under legal guardianship, it's because a judge has determined that the ward is not a responsible person capable of making his/her own decisions.
If / when the ward commits a crime, or damages property, or is the victim of a crime, the guardian could be charged with failure to supervise.
